I don't believe that MOS had *any* concept of a current working directory. That would have been down to the particular filesystem that happened to have taken control of the filesystem vectors. DFS didn't understand directories, so it couldn't have a current directory. It had a default (drive, initial letter) tuple which could sort of fake it if you didn't look too closely.
DFS did have a notion of cwd. It was normally $ but you could cd to some other (single character) dir and the directory display would reflect that. And ADFS certainly had a cwd.
My point was that the idea of cwd being per-fs was from MOS - which you confirm :)
